Yesterday my partner and kids visited the Antarctic Centre in Christchurch, and they were all delighted by the penguins and huskies. They were less impressed by the "cold room" (which was -8C and had fans that also blow wind at 40km/hr, they have parkas you can borrow...)

Saskatchewan has completely changed our standards for cold weather! My 9yo: "It didn't even freeze my boogers! That's not cold!" My partner: "It was nice dog walking weather."

@sundogplanets That's funny. Having lived on the prairies myself, that's almost short and t-shirt weather.😂

I moved to Vancouver four years ago and I do find that I have adjusted and now I get cold at temperatures that would have had Alberta me calling me a wuss. 😂

I used to explain the Alberta cold to people by telling them to go stick their head in their freezer and that that was probably warmer than Alberta is in winter.😂
